Ah, well, it goes both ways. There was an electricity crisis in my city a
few years back, which disadvantaged those who had electric cooking/hot
water. But then there was a gas crisis not long after, which turned the
tables on the rest of us.

obfood: That was one of my first cooking triumphs. My Mum lent me a
little bench-top electric stove, and I could only close it by slamming the
door, and I'd already bought the ingredients for my first ever attempt at
souffle... But it came out wonderfully well

BTW, I do prefer gas cooking for various reasons, but power outages is one
I hadn't thought of.

Hope the tuna salad is good
